How Acousti Products Began...

Office Background Noise

Acousti Products began because we set out to reduce the noise emanating from our own computers! Noise in our own (otherwise fairly quiet) working environment was irritating and distracting. As Quiet PC say... we needed to 'hear ourselves think'!

We first replaced noisy components with quiet equivalents (like silent PSUs and quiet processor coolers, silent hard disk drives etc.). We had caught the quietness bug. Not satisfied, we then tried looking for some suitable sound-proofing materials to line the inside of our PC cases...

R&D

After researching the market and trying several existing products, we realised that there was a need for high quality and effective materials. We searched for soundproofing materials that would provide effective acoustic performance for low to midrange frequencies, whilst meeting improved flammability standards.

With the help of a team of people with expertise in acoustics, manufacturing and research - including helpful insights from Quiet PC - we were able to locate and source excellent new materials. Further acoustic and manufacturing research led to the unique design of our composite material, where the layered distribution of density creates a low reflection and high absorption soundproofing material.

Growth

With time we began trying to find solutions to other common noise sources. Fans and the decoupling of vibrating parts from the chassis of computers has lead us to develop, design and source truly quiet computer cooling fans and mounting accessories. These have been designed and specified by us and manufactured uniquely to our requirements. Other innovative products are currently under development which we hope will influence the manufacture of quieter computers, servers, photocopiers, and other office equipment in the future.

Social Responsibility

Acousti Products is committed to nothing but the highest standards of support for our staff and customers. Our goal for our end-users is complete enjoyment of the products that we manufacture, or rather, the enjoyment of other products but a great deal quieter!

Environmental Policy 

As part of our responsibility for the environment, we aim to utilise environmentally-friendly materials and packaging, and incorporate environmentally-friendly working practices wherever possible.

To date we have implemented the following:

• Minimal product packing wherever possible, whilst ensuring protection during transport
• Use of 100% recycled cardboard shipping boxes (for PC cases and acoustic materials)
• Limited use of recyclable plastic bubble wrap packaging (only where necessary)
• Use of bio-degradable polypropylene box tape
• Encouraging electronic (non-paper based) communication wherever possible (e.g. for financial transactions)
• Use of 100% recycled paper for our office stationary and internal documentation
• Use of 100% recycled and biodegradable sample padded envelopes and parcel paper
• Use of paper only from sustainable sources for product instructions
• Use of 100% biodegradable packaging fill (see below)
• Re-use of packaging wherever possible.

We use from Green Light Products.

We are committed to pestering the companies we work with to provide us with the most environmentally friendly goods and services they can offer.
